It actuallity, it&#39;s not too different from WoW - other than you spend your time to make real money. They are a site that runs servers &amp; still need to pay bills.<br /><br />Yet, the whole time I&#39;m playing I&#39;m racking up FPP. I get bonus points for taking part in special events. Poker Stars still makes enough money to pay their bills, but I get points to spend on whatever I want.<br /><br />They mostly offer swag. I can spend the points on T-shirts, mugs, books, etc (a partnership with Jinx.com on this one would PWN!!!). However, I can also turn the FPP into straight money - at a much, lower rate of exchange.<br /><br />I.e, 10000 FPP might get me a book worth $15 - $25 but turning it into money would get me much less.<br /><br />I see this as a bonus for the game. If not in gold, at least let us work toward tangible goals like swag through FPP.King Harbrommhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18010171698165886636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-18951695610874389552009-07-08T09:12:19.953-04:002009-07-08T09:12:19.953-04:00What&#39;s in it for Blizzard?
You could keep you...What&#39;s in it for Blizzard?<br /><br />You could keep yourself in game time perpetually and never have to give Blizzard a bean. Hell, they&#39;d even have to send you a free shirt every now and then.<br /><br />It would also encourage anti-social behaviour and positively discourage social behaviour.<br /><br />Why would the proles ever roll anything other than need if there were $s at stake?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-1142105571183660842009-07-08T07:45:03.850-04:002009-07-08T07:45:03.850-04:00It does.

Once someone passes a certain financial threshold, they can feasibly pay for their hobby out of their in-game earnings.<br /><br />Of course, this opens the door to scamming and unapproved RMTs, but that&#39;s par for the course in EVE.computersherpahttp://computersherpa.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-76281597228192697112009-07-07T13:54:50.342-04:002009-07-07T13:54:50.342-04:00I think that Eve has something like that.I think that Eve has something like that.Argonnoreply@blogger.com
